How to Handle Diversity in College and the Workplace Successfully
Pam doesn't just teach students how to handle diversity successfully, she leads by example - training members of municipalities and government staff to parolees and prisoners in vital material. When it comes to helping students understand how to handle diversity successfully no one gets to the heart of the matter like Pam, because her career is living proof of what that means.
